While the news on Writer has been pretty quiet recently, here’s two items that caught our attention.

The German Live Writer community got a look at one of the internal Live writer builds and kindly shared what they saw. Though the screenshot they posted has since been removed, its helpfully still up on flickr. Thanks for showing us the new UI guys!

If you are waiting for a new version of Live Writer, you’re going to have to wait a while longer. Discussion on the Windows Live Writer group states that “the next major release is still a few months away.” We’re just wondering what they are working on that has caused such a long gap between major releases – any suggestions?

Thanks for the tips we had on these items. Remember if you have a tip for us, you can let us know by emailing: [email protected]
